Prometheus 6

Bush had the whole Republican Party referring to him as "our Commander in Chief." Evangelicals still do. But Iraq got so screwed even his own party told him the next word could not come from him. So he could no longer wear the military dictator mask.

He's still determined to break the Constitution. He's decided he can "pocket veto" the defense authorization bill.

He's decided not to fund the troops because the Iraqi government objects to some part of the bill.

I am withholding my approval of H.R. 1585, the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008," because it would imperil billions of dollars of Iraqi assets at a crucial juncture in that nation's reconstruction efforts and because it would undermine the foreign policy and commercial interests of the United States.

Bush is taking greater care of Iraqi assets than he ever took of ours...including the lives of the troops. He hiomself said how failure to fund the troops would endanger their lives.

What has the Iraqi government done that their interests should override those of the troops?

Or is it the commercial interests of the United Statess that is more important than keeping the troops safe? 

People are wondering why he's doing it. I am not. I am saying that Congress should take the issue to the Supreme Court. Now.
